The St. Louis Cardinals are preparing for a pivotal off-season, with a series of important dates on the horizon that will shape the roster for the upcoming campaign. A photo from March 26, 2026, shows President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom at Busch Stadium during a pregame ceremony ahead of a game against the Tampa Bay Rays.
The off-season calendar typically includes the start of free agency, arbitration deadlines, the winter meetings, and the Rule 5 draft, among other milestones. The Cardinals' front office, led by Bloom, will navigate these events as they look to build a competitive team for the 2027 season.
